EvenBet Gaming obtains Danish B2B supplier licence
EvenBet Gaming, a leading developer of online poker and casino software, has secured a five-year B2B supplier licence from the Danish Gambling Authority (Spillemyndigheden), further strengthening its position across Europe’s most established jurisdictions.
The strategic move into the Danish market aligns with EvenBet’s mission to provide its global client base with seamless access to high-potential regulated jurisdictions. By securing this licence, the company enhances its ability to support both new and existing operators in diversifying their market reach through scalable, fully compliant gaming solutions.
The licence covers a comprehensive portfolio of products, including EvenBet’s industry-leading poker software, turnkey online casino platform, and extensive content catalogue comprising roulette, baccarat, blackjack, punto banco, bingo and slots.
The approval follows a rigorous assessment process covering RNG certification, platform security, and business procedures, reinforcing EvenBet’s ongoing commitment to compliance, integrity and player protection.

Edge Marketing Institute launches G.A.M.E marketing leadership programme for B2B gaming
Online, on-demand course targets CMOs and senior marketers, with WorldGaming signed as exclusive media partner.
Edge Marketing Institute has launched in the gaming sector with its flagship programme, G.A.M.E (Gaming Advancement in Marketing Excellence), positioned by the company as a dedicated marketing leadership course for B2B gaming.
The company said the programme is designed to help senior marketers develop commercial leadership skills as businesses push marketing teams to contribute more directly to revenue and growth.
Founded by Paul Rees and Gerhard Sagat, Edge Marketing Institute said G.A.M.E consists of 10 senior-level modules covering strategic marketing leadership, positioning, product marketing, sales alignment, go-to-market execution, marketing measurement, brand strategy, and organisational influence.
Paul Rees, Co-Founder of Edge Marketing Institute, said: “Gaming has talented marketers throughout the industry, but too many have been forced to learn senior leadership on the job without structured development or exposure to broader marketing best practice.
“This isn’t a talent problem; it’s a structural one.
“We created Edge Marketing Institute and G.A.M.E to help marketing leaders operate with greater commercial clarity, confidence and influence, so marketing becomes a genuine driver of growth rather than simply a delivery function.”
The programme has launched with the support of WorldGaming as its exclusive media partner. Alex Pratt, Managing Director at WorldGaming, said: “As gaming continues to evolve, the role of marketing is becoming increasingly commercial and strategically important.
“Helping marketing leaders better align marketing with business growth, commercial objectives and long-term industry development is positive for the wider gaming ecosystem, which is why we’re pleased to support the launch of Edge Marketing Institute and G.A.M.E.”

BetBlocker adds Syrian Arabic language support for gambling harm prevention
The charity says the rollout targets displaced Syrian communities across Europe as it works toward a partnership with a European regulatory agency.
Gambling harm prevention charity BetBlocker said today it has expanded its service to include support for Syrian Arabic speakers, aiming to improve access for displaced Syrian communities living across Europe.
The organisation said years of conflict have led to large Syrian diaspora communities across neighbouring countries and many European nations. BetBlocker added that immigrant communities can face higher risk of gambling harm, with religious, social, cultural and linguistic barriers reducing engagement with support services.
BetBlocker said the Syrian Arabic rollout was prioritised as part of work towards a partnership with a European regulatory agency, positioning it to support diaspora Syrian communities across Europe.
Founder and Trustee for BetBlocker, Duncan Garvie, said: “I’m always really happy when BetBlocker can line-up priorities for where our work for mature markets also facilitates us extending protections to populations that are under served. Our project to deliver Ukrainian as apart of the Improving Outcomes for Minority Communities fund via GambleAware in the UK was a great example of a project that met the needs of the UK funding system, while concurrently extending the support we could offer to an entirely new project.
This project offers similar opportunities. Where extending our support to Syrian Arabic both allows us to submit a more competitive tender to an EU regulator, whilst simultaneously expanding our support to a country/population that currently has very limited options for people experiencing gambling harm.
BetBlocker’s uptake in Syria is climbing rapidly at the moment, and this new launch should ensure that far more people who need support can access it.”
